When working with locally attached tape drives, you do not need the RSM service
(opposing to the Backup Server, where you do need to use RSM for tape management).
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local version will disable the RSM service on your
computer while backing up to a locally attached tape device.
To enable backup to a locally attached tape device with Acronis True Image Echo
Workstation local version:
1. Install Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local version.
2. Attach the tape device to the computer.
3. If the tape contains data, its contents will be overwritten on prompt. You have an
option to disable prompts, see
6.3.14 Additional settings
.
4. When creating a backup task, you will be able to select the tape device from the list of
destination devices. Filenames for backups are not needed when backing up to tape.
5. As soon as the tape is full, a dialog window with a request to insert a new tape will
appear.
You might experience short pauses that are required to rewind the tape. Low-quality or
old tape, as well as dirt on the magnetic head, might lead to pauses that can last up to
several minutes.
Limitations for a locally attached tape device
• A full backup can be stored on an empty tape only. If you use tape that already
contains data, its contents will be overwritten.
• Acronis True Image Agent doesn’t support a locally attached tape device. If you want
to back up to tape via Acronis True Image Agent, select the tape device attached to
the Backup Server as the backup location.
• A tape cannot store two and more archives: thus the following scenarios are not
possible:
• • Two full backups on one tape (only a full backup and its incremental
backups\differential backup)
• • Two archives of different backup type, for example the first archive is a
disk archive, and the second one is a file-level archive.
3.8.2 Understanding backup to tape devices attached to the Backup
Server
Archives cataloguing
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation creates a dedicated database for archives and
tapes cataloguing (\Program files\Common Files\Acronis\Fomatik\tape_archives.fdb.)
Each tape of an RSM-managed device has its own GUID stored in the Windows registry.
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation creates its own ID for each tape, sets up the
correspondence between this ID and the RSM GUID and stores that information along
with information about the archive in its own database. Additionally, the program stores
metadata on tape, so that identification information can be obtained when mounting a
tape that is not registered in the database.
If the database is lost or not available (say, you detach the tape device and attach it to
another computer or reinstall Windows) the necessary information is derived from the
metadata saved on the tape and the database will be recreated on the new host using the
